Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:53:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1935418I’ve recorded all of the episodes and very disappointed. Why because they focus on 8 to 10 teams almost everyday or the same stories. You have 4 hours a day could you spend some time talking about other teams more that 2 min or break down a team that isn’t in your top 10 to talk about for once! There are 32 teams not 8 to 10. The coverage is real boring when you repeat the same story in 4 hour period 4 or more times! I end up fast forwarding through almost the whole 4 hours every day!

Wed, 01 Aug 2012 13:41:44 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1908194The live interviews are good. But maintaining 4 consecutive hours everyday won’t work. The first hour is new, the rest repeated. What I didn’t like was how Total Access then used most of the AM show to repeat again. When Nicole started screaming this morning I had to change the channel. Since we, the fans pay the wages for this crew and all the others, they need to remember that. I don’t care what they get paid, but it’s a decent job where professionalism should be a priority. Since I love football and keeping up to speed on what’s going on, I want to see and hear good storylines. More often than not, many of those who host, analyse the shows on the network are now just looking for and promoting gossip and controversy. This is NFL pro football, not some dumb reality show. When I pay hard earned money for TV programming I expect it to be worth it. The Director for NFLN needs to get a handle on his staff and remember what he’s airing will be scrutinized closely by the FANS that pay for it. Time to clean it up, replace a few people and get on with football. If you advertise coverage of all 32 teams, then do it.

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:04:41 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1905321Programs like NFL AM are the inevitable byproduct of having a network dedicated to one sport. Who didn’t see this coming? When you run out of original material, you need filler to kill time and that is exactly what NFL AM is.

I know America loves football, but a 24/7 network dedicated exclusively to the NFL was a bad idea. In fact its a bad idea for any sport to have their own channel. One can only take so many classic games and over analysis by overly critical former athletes.

I watched/listened to it for a little over an hour this morning………total crap. They covered like 4 teams in that time, the Cowgirls, and Tebow twice..

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 19:07:52 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1905214I have ComCast and the NFL Network is constantly pausing and breaking up while other stations are working well.

The NFL Network has got to have the UGLIEST sports analysts on TV. The women aren’t bad, but the men are hideous looking. Then they’re loud which isn’t a morning thing really. Not for me. Mike and Mike actually seem to realize that it’s first thing in the morning.

Bottom line on this show is that 4 hours a day is too much time to fill, especially in the off-season…

I accept that the show might go through growing pains before they hit their stride and it gets really good. It’s just nice to have an all NFL live show in the morning.

I watch ESPN in stead of my normal thing of watching NFL network. Whoever thought this up needs to be fired. I normally watch NFL network from 0530 to about 0700, but today I watch ESPN. Lets do some reporting and less talking. I want to here about the teams and less mouth. The need this show on com on man!!

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 17:50:57 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1905044NFL_AM is a poorly conceived and executed presentation. True NFL Fans are not interested in squabbling, empty headed talking heads spouting crap.
Best thing the network can do is cancel the shaow and suck it up as a failure.

I’ll give it a few more viewings before I relegate it to broadcast black hole that I’ve cast most of ESPN and CBS’ NFL Today.

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:11:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1904821This is just another opportunity for quarterbacks to be shoved down our throats. I’ve been watching NFL games for more than 50 years and even I know teams, not quarterbacks, win Super Bowls.
If having the best QB guarantees championships, I’m pretty sure Dan Marino would have more rings than Trent Dilfer, Doug Williams, Jeff Hostetler, Mark Ripien, Brad Johnson and Ben Roethlisberger combined.
This obsession with quarterbacks must stop!!!

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:10:23 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1904818Get use to it folks, as the national media is all about two things… 1) The headlines(Tebow,Mannings neck, ect) 2) Taking two guys and making them argue about those same headlines. Not stuff like who’s fighting for the backup running gig for your respected team and stuff like that(Just an example)

Also, people should know that the guy who turned SportsCenter into the advertising with a little sports on the side ordeal that it is now, is the same guy who currently runs the NFL network. So get ready for the those endless “Coorslight 5 cold question” segments with the NFLN.

I generally like NFLN programming, but this thing was horrendous. Just give me the news, analysis and good interviews. Leave the arguing to Fox News, ESPN, and CNN…Tired of that ish

They pretty much discussed the same things just in different order for the two hours and before i shut it off to start working they previewed the next hour and it was THE SAME STUFF!! I was excited about it because i am sick of Mike and Mike (they talk about the same crap for 4 hours as well) and Sportscenter. Needless to say i was very let down. I especially dont like Mark Kriegel. He reminds me of Skip just says crazy stuff really loud and all he wants to do is talk about Tebow and the fabricated QB controversy.

He’s Tony Cornheiser with far less content, and I can’t stand Cornheiser either.

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 15:11:37 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1086371#comment-1904646NFL Network is moving towards many of the reasons I don’t watch ESPN anymore (except on Mondays).

The Dr. Phil stuff and silly skits is not what I want as a fan, but maybe I’m in the minority. Still better than ESPN, but it sounds like this show is moving in that direction.
